We have followed you CA Poppy since we rescued Miss Petunia, the Chi, and you have helped us in so many ways with your sharing. She is now refusing to go down the steps for her evening 'potty walks', and today snapped at David. But we do want to wait a couple more weeks before talking with a Vet .. just so hard to watch her coughing, and trying to get her breath, plus she is getting '*****y' and snapped at DH today. She has had a good life with us since 2006, and we need to do what is best for her. Just hope we can find a vet willing to do as we wish for her.
Thank you for your kind remarks. We have had a lot in common, since Petunia reminded me a lot of our Poquita. All I can say about "letting go" is that we have always waited too long. Of course, it wasn't always up to me. Bud had an even harder time with the decision. When it came down to it, both of our girls were in deep distress by the time it became obvious that that we had no choice. I so wish it hadn't been that way, but hindsight is always better. Both of our girls were still eating ravenously up until that final trip to the vet, but otherwise, they were not having fun anymore. Somehow, it all ends up being a reminder that we are not so young anymore,either. I wish you peace with your decision, whenever it tjurns out to be.
